Angelo opens the treatise by discussing how to choose an appropriate blade and gives advice on mounting it.

He covers the smallsword as well as smallsword and dagger, smallsword vs. smallsword and dagger, smallsword and lantern, and finally smallsword vs. broadsword. He covers how to fence against the German, Italian and Spanish guards.
